[Ripple and LOFI] Testing workflows to process data for publication

[LorneLeonard-NOAA]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Need strategies to handle large volumes of data and preprocessing data for publication services.
Require baseline benchmarks for performance evaluation.
Understanding our constraints here will guide our downstream and upstream workflows.

Describe the solution you'd like
Fast and scalable.

Using the gSSURGO national dataset for baseline benchmarks. As the gSSURGO has complete coverage of lower 48 states with ~300K polygons.

By using gSSURGO,

• Understand performance from a non-trivial example (~21GB GDB) (not including extraction etc).
• Can evaluate what OS environment to use.
• Understand polygon performance with a reasonable large number of polygons.
• Understand domain decomposition strategies/performance.
• Strategies to handle polygon "correctness", CCW, CW, holes etc.
